The things people get upset the most over aren’t the subtle, deeply rooted cultural stuff like when you should pour someone else’s drink or the proper way to use a utensil. The things mentioned in the article are the problem and can be avoided by having a good grasp of what it means to have respect for others and the…

Having been to China I honestly get it. Compared to Japan it was all very brunt like you had to just be ok with people staring at you if they wanted to stare and that was just how it was. The problem is it just doesn’t translate well anywhere else.

If you feel that bad here then Japan might actually kill you. A friend and I got into a heated debate in our hotel room and the nice employee who came up to let us know there was a noise complaint was so polite and apologetic that I just felt subhuman.

I think too many people who act like that operate under the idea that if it isn’t expressly illegal it’s fine since it won’t follow them back home. Oddly enough I don’t think Americans make up the majority of people abroad who act like that though i imagine we have more than a few that rank among the worst.

I think the difference is that unlike Bayonetta where her kit functions but is not as potent due to the adjustments the change to Olimar is more along the lines of a bug. No other character, even including the one who that also had their hurtbox increased, have this problem. When your shield is covering your entire…

You and me both. I though the design was meh but par for the course with these types of adaptations (Detective Pikachu being the outlier) but the song choice shows that the lack of thought and oversight went far deeper than just the story/writing/design. I mean they had to pay licensing fees for the right to use it…

Order of operations does not tell you to multiply INTO parentheses. You solve what’s in the parentheses first then address the whole problem (assuming no exponents) from left-to-right. What you did skipped dividing 6 by 2 first which would be order of operations. I feel like the big hangup everyone has is over the…

That’s all I’m waiting on, when 75% of the seasons have a rep I’m sold.

Honestly it “looks” alright, certainly not good but better than it could have been. That being said, whose idea was it to use Gangsta’s Paradise for this trailer? They could’ve used nearly any other song but they chose one with tone, music, and lyrics that are the opposite of everything people associate with Sonic. 

It’s cool if you are into that style of game but I think the hope was that since P4G came to the vita and given that the vita has been effectively replaced by the Switch as the defacto Japanese handheld that we would see some port over. I’ve never been able to get into the “Warriors” gameplay so my wallet is very…

The one-two punch of this on Thursday followed by Boxboy+Boxgirl has just doomed any chance I had of being productive this weekend.

The point remains that if having a few drinks doesn’t disqualify you from one of those jobs simply having THC in your system (which can be there for months) shouldn’t either. This is the workplace we are talking about so if you trust your employees not to have one too many cocktails on their lunch break or too much…

Based on my time in China you could still import a good number of things but it’s crazy expensive and, similar to Istanbul, there was always that chance you got the wrong customs worker who would “flag-and-bag” it so all you’d get in your mail box is a note saying it couldn’t be delivered due to some bs…

For any handheld electronics maker it is the mythical promised land, it’s like Japan but with about 10x the amount of potential customers (based on China have 10x Japan’s population). Add to that the game console ban effectively making only poorly conceived imitations previously available and you have the potential…

I think they already made their money back before Solo came out through movies and licensing.

I couldn’t even make it through the trailer, no way I’m gonna go see this.

Honestly I’ve never though of them to be hard just tedious, really tedious combat wrapped in beautiful story and art. The patterns for each encounter and boss aren’t hard to see just tedious to execute since there is no real need for precision just patience. Games like Celeste are hard because learning and expanding…

Jupiter Ascending should be heralded as a legendary bad movie. Even the title is ironically bad since Jupiter actually spent the entire movie both literally falling (from buildings, off bridges, etc) and figuratively falling for every lie/scheme someone threw at her.

Yeah, I will never understand how people can not appreciate how true to form Speed Racer was an adaptation.

I thought it was decent from a spectacle pov but everything felt rushed for me. I had no decent sense of how much time was passing so having her go from just having met this guy 3-ish days ago to literally offering him her heart just seemed weird and uncomfortable. The fake death one night to real death (or suicide?)…
